i'll sell to a few customers straight out the field for 5.50 a bale it saves me having to deliver or store them.but most off mine sell for 6.50 a bale and sometimes theres a delivery cost on top of that..i do know of someone near me who sells them for £7 a bale plus delivery..

How many layers of plastic are folks putting on ?. Going to try a few here this year as customers have asked for them.

Wrapper we hired last year was set for 36 turns of 250mm wrap, seemed like a lot at the time but apparently it's what's needed.

Thanks, felt like more at the time but never worked out how many layers it was. Wouldn't want any less than 6 layers.

Resurrecting an old thread rather than start a new one. I bought a McHale 995lm and only intended to wrap my own but apparently my wrapper is now the only one in this part of the world after one contractor sold his 2 and another sold the 4 he had...
I've only wrapped 60 odd of my own so far and didn't keep track of how long it look or how much wrap I used, but now I've been asked to bale and wrap some haylage. So how many bales are people getting from a roll of 360mm wrap and what are people charging?

Your lucky then
It's the old dears here who want a few for dobbin to have the best(not realising that their weed infested paddocks would only just support the combat moth)they come out with cups of tea all day thinking they doing you a favor(coz they think your going to do them a favor with bill and moving the idiot bricks)then you cant even go for a pee anywhere as they hang about so much

Not bothering is becoming more appealing. £4 to bale and wrap plus extra labour and tractors and trailers by the hour should be enough to make sure it is round baled
